Hunters sharing experiences about Nevada's Unit 222 indicate a mixed yet constructive outlook. Many found the terrain challenging but rewarding, highlighting the importance of preparation and scouting to navigate the area's rugged landscape effectively. Some hunters noted that the unit holds a good population of mule deer and elk, though spotting them requires patience and an understanding of their seasonal movements. Overall, the consensus suggests that while success in Unit 222 can be elusive, diligent research and strategic planning significantly enhance hunting opportunities.
A beautiful place to hunt, this largely public unit has no shortage of sagebrush valleys and mahogany canyons along with Mount Grafton, the state’s highest peak outside a state park or national forest. Mountain springs and other water sources contribute to healthy wildlife populations.
Antelope numbers are low.
